You Know that you are addicted to scrapping when...

Have you ever gotten an idea in your head that does not let you go to sleep, or one that wakes you up at 3 in the morning or earlier? With and idea in your mind that says You Have to try this now! And no matter how much you try to roll over and go back to sleep, you cannot until you go and try your idea, or complete the project...

Well yesterday I was web hopping on different scrapbooking sites, where I found a post for Purse Cards, there were pictures showing what the gals had done with the .cut file they had gotten. The post even said that the .cut file was right there... but it was not. Sooo me being who I am, Had to try to make my own cut file. The cards were both made using George and Plantin Schoolbook.

I started at 10pm, did not like the first one that I made (the one with the S), well I like how it finaly turned out, but I had to do a LOT of trimming on it because the edges did not match up when I cut it out. But I did not want to waste it because I really liked the paper. So when that one did not turn out right, I went back to my cartridges and my paper stash to try again and again, and about 2 good sheets later, and 15 not so good sheets of paper later, I finally came up with a Purse card that I liked. It is the Pink card with the Jewelz on above. But it was now 4:30 in the morning. So I got the sample done to my liking. So I went to bed.

I woke up at 7:30 thinking that it was more like 11:30. I was glad that I had more day, but wishing that I was still in bed.

Well I hope that you have enjoyed, and Yes I am going to share my cut file. For the first pink one, not the one with the S. Which by the way is chipboard that I cut out, and glittered.

Here is the link, I zipped it up with the picture that goes with the cut file.

Dana,Thank you for sharing the .cut file of your purse card. I know exactly what you mean...getting and idea and staying up for hours working on it, then waking up like you continued working on it in your sleep. I'm just getting into DS. Everytime I buy something in a box, I tear it apart to see if I can make it on DS!Brenda

Thank you so much. I cut the purse out. Then I tried to cut the flap and nothing was there but i figured the inner oval from the last handles was for the flap and it looks OK. Is that what you're supposed to do? Then the 1st set of handles I didn't cut out because I don't know which ones to use. Could you e-mail me please?
